Oct.
24, 2014 marked a momentous occasion for a family of three as Candis Smith and
Curtis Flanagan received the keys to their new Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas
home in North Las Vegas. Habitat Las Vegas Chairman Mike Borden, kicked off the
ceremony with his opening remarks thanking all of the volunteers who helped make
the dream of home ownership a reality for this family. The home was sponsored
in part by Lowe’s, and was completed by 277 volunteers who put in more than
1,900 volunteer hours to help build the home. Curtis and Candis also
contributed 300 volunteer hours of “sweat equity” as part of the home ownership
program. Additionally, today was a special day as Curtis celebrated his
birthday with close family and friends who came out to support. Thank you to
Cupkates by Kate for providing the family with a delectable birthday cupcake
cake layered with delicious frosting to celebrate the occasion.
